Add possibility to change the language of templates.can be used to search by extra informations (author, comments) but also by extra information from the web site (ratings).lets solve it later but be prepared, the web is not available now but.could be merged into the existing tree (would need check box to disable the web access).would have the same categories (box/tree).templates from web (official or user defined site)?.

tooltip on the preview shows info like creator, date, etc.

button? - no, can be done from the menu.

button? - probably yes, we want to be able to start this dialog directly from the desktop.

You can see it on the right side (Task Pane) when you select the tab 'Master Pages'. Note that the functionality is somehow already implemented in Impress.

the preview image should be saved to the templates by default We should be able to create in the fly for the older documents.

The new dialog must be clean & easy, yet powerful. What is the exact difference between a template and a sample? I wonder if there are any samples at all.

the tab 'Samples' shows no file by default.

the tab 'My documents' duplicates functionality of File/Open.

Note that the dialog is started from this menu.

the tab 'New Document' duplicates the menu entries File/New/*.

We can improve the current dialog 'Templates and Documents'. So we need a better template dialog like the iWork one, and ideally with the ability to browse an online set of quality controlled templates. The Apple iWork suite has nice templates and a nice selector widget. The existing impress dialog is a bit klunky and doesn't by default contain many examples for. We have a create from template wizard for impress, this is a suitable route for creating a word processor document as well.

templates are saved into another location and structure but.

don't we want to do this from normal 'Open./Save As.'?.

move to the same part of the menu as Wizards.

'File -> New -> Templates and Documents'.

The menu 'File/Templates' is too hiden and includes the strange 'Address Book' entry. The current menu entry 'File/New/Templates and Documents' is a bit confusing because the other entries below 'File/New' starts new blank documents of the given type. Garrett Müller-Prove Holešovsky Assurance
